Sledgehammer Games Feeling Pressured with Modern Warfare 3

In an interview with Edge Magazine, Glen Schofield, co-founder of Sledgehammer Games, states that the entire Sledgehammer studio is feeling pressured to deliver a stellar experience with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

“We were very confident after Dead Space, especially with our development processes. We knew we could deliver within a deadline and with a lot of polish. And that confidence was exactly what was needed,” Schofield explained. “But there are days when you think: ‘Holy s**t, this is a monster’. There is a lot of stress. It’s not crippling, but the thing that worries me most is people going: ‘Look, there’s the guy who brought down Call of Duty!’ That scares the crap out of me.”

Feeling pressured with their involvement in MW3...um, duh! The title has been a mega-hit for the last half decade, and features one of the most outspoken communities in gaming. Hopefully the studio will not only get their foot wet with MW3, but deliver one of the best experiences in 2011.
